I'm definitely interested, but the price will be the deciding factor.

A 3 pack would help too! But I agree, price will be the biggest factor for me on this one.

I like it a lot but am vested in the Classics/United versions now and can't justify the certain high price for this especially if it's deluxe sized.

I wouldnt mind buying one.

why is everyone saying bad timing. its only bad if you bought the united version. if you just bought the store version so what. i mean it was what 13 bucks at most. this guys probably going to be what like maybe 100 bucks at most. i mean i want this guy bad and i bought 4 classics scourges so i could have some sweeps aswell. if your going for authenticity then you have to go with this guy.

If only Hasbro had given us this.

I'm not seeing anything redeeming in that head sculpt. The rest is merely passable at this stage. Between owning Botcon Scourge, Botcon Sweeps, United Scourge and 2 of Generations Scourges, I've got enough. I can see and appreciate the effort. I simply don't need any more of this character.

Yeah he looks cool but universe scourge is fine. He would be awesome if he was voyager size but what do I need another deluxe scourge for? He even looks a little short next to that lighter. Why doesn't anybody make Shockwave or Brawn or an affordable Ultra Magnus. Or a better deluxe Rodimus. Or how bout Nemesis Prime. Or a cool movie Megatron. How bout Galvatron. How bout the Aerial Bots. How bout a spot on Soundwave or Blaster. I think these 3rd party companies should stick to add on's unless they have something really awesome. I bet this guy sells for at least $70.00.

Oh how could i forget the one I want the most G1 Jetfire. If anyone is thinking about making this put me down for 1 already. This guy goes for way too much. If I'm gonna pay that much it might as well be for something new and amazing right.

Not bad, but I think I'll stick with my Generations Scourge.

Mastermind Creations is doing a nice one.

ninjascythe79 wrote:or Brawn

IGear has announced their intentions of revising all of the original minibots (and I think all of the '84 '85 line if memory serves correctly)

ninjascythe79 wrote:or an affordable Ultra Magnus.

MP 12 or 13, its coming.

ninjascythe79 wrote: Or a better deluxe Rodimus.

the new paint apps on the United Hot Rod goes pretty far to improve a fairly accurate figure.

ninjascythe79 wrote:Or how bout Nemesis Prime.

The G2/laser prime from Reveal the Shield will, inevitably, be repainted as Nemesis. There is a pre order up for a Nemesis Movie Prime. We will probably get a Nemesis MP Prime 2.0 from Takara. There are always the "Leaders" from Igear.

ninjascythe79 wrote: Or a cool movie Megatron.

Don't count out a Leader class release of old Megs yet. Their are several versions of the Voyager that are quite pretty.

ninjascythe79 wrote:0r How bout Galvatron.

Look at the front page articles, it's being addressed.

ninjascythe79 wrote:How bout the Aerial Bots. How bout a spot on Soundwave or Blaster.

I believe good ole frenzy_rumble is currently participating in a venture to produce both Soundwave and Blaster. The prototypes look badass!

GetRightRobot wrote:DAMN!!!! Thats looks so right! Unfortunately, it won't be $9.88 at Wal-Mart so building ANOTHER classics Scourge armada is kinda out of the question. But one or two.... Looks good, I like this alot more than the X-Transbot Galvatron currently under construction.

Agreed. Now, if they make these things Voyager sized, actually give him hands, and kind of sharpen some prominent areas (like his Decepticon emblem on his chest, looks a little round), I might consider picking up one.

Shoot me a link, please?

What would the appeal be in voyager size? So he could tower over Cyclonus and Galvatron?

I was suggesting that because if you wanted to differentiate your Generation Scourges, not only would he have a different chassis, but he would also appear taller.

I want this as my Scourge and a couple of the Generations figure as my Sweeps.

This thing just looks so old and grumpy, I love it!

Think the key word there was "affordable".

.....You like the Bay stuff? Great. You like realistic vehicle G1? Super. You want a Heinlad alarm clock or a pink dragon Galvatron with a permanent grimace? Can't blame you. Hell, don't appreciate the design of this scourge? At least appreciate the craftsmanship of what these guys are doing. I just can't fathom what would motivate someone to spout off like some of you people do.

It's called freedom of speech, mate. Agree with them or not, everyone is entitled to an opinion. I know it's frustrating when someone takes a dislike to something you are fond of, especially when they're trying to pass off opinion as fact. All you can do is recognise when someone is sharing their opinion (which it appears you can) and try to brush it off.

This sucks, you suck, he sucks, Scourge sucks, Mickey Mouse sucks, Eagles suck, typing sucks.

-thoroughly trolled

I think this looks much better than their attempt on Kup. May get it depending on how it finally turns out.

I wonder what else they have up their sleeves. Kup and Scourge do seem like somewhat strange choices given that they already have decent original releases. Did they come up with these and sat on it all this while?

Like the one making Metroplex's eye?

That is the dumbest one of all.

I really like the head sculpt. That beard is kickass.

They had a Kup proto? Link please. I missed that.

There you go

It's not pretty though. Don't say I didn't warn you

Btw, they have more projects under their belt. Even ANOTHER powerglide. What interests me though is the Steeljaw they have. Looks pretty good.

WORD!!! Thanks man. I don't remember ever even hearing of this guy, and it seems to be a well developed (even colored) Prototype! He is... kinda goofy, but I can find things to admire. And yes, Steeljaw, absolutely looks cool as SH....!

No, that's the final product, if I remember correctly it was sold as a limited garage kit at a convention.
